Avoid animations that change properties such as `position` or `display`. -- **Animations should be helpful.** They should be designed to guide users to a point of interest, ease natural reading order, or to communicate relationships between elements. -- **Animations should feel familial.** Avoid introducing animations that feel out-of-place compared to the existing set. -- **Animations should feel natural.** Animations should reflect, as much as is reasonable, motion that occurs in natural physics. Avoid extreme timing functions, and model animations on real-world events. \ No newline at end of file +- **Transitions should be tolerable.** Transitions should be tolerable, seeing them repeatedly should not become too annoying or overbearing. +- **Transitions should not interfere with document flow or control/input availability.** In other words, the absence of an transition should never reduce usability of a product: they should be non-critical and seen as “progressive enhancements”. +- **Transitions should be helpful.** They should be designed to move users through moments of interest, ease natural reading order, or to communicate relationships between spaces. +- **Transitions should feel familial.** Avoid introducing transitions that feel out-of-place compared to the existing set. +- **Transitions should feel natural.** Transitions should reflect, as much as is reasonable, motion that occurs in natural physics.
